The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A methodical city-building simulation where you balance resource chains and citizen needs to expand Roman settlements.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing atmosphere and simple but interconnected mechanics, but nearly all warn that the game lacks a save feature, a dealbreaker for many. Fans of old Sierra city builders like Caesar will feel at home with the art style and approach.
